HYGIENIC cHALioE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 24, 1914.

Originalapplication filed January 23, 1907, Serial No. 353,725. Divided and thisapplication led October all whom t may concern: p

Be it knownthat I, CARL JULIUs LJUNG- GEEN, a subject of the `King of Sweden, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hygienic Chalices, of which the (following isa specification.`

My invention relates to an improvement in chalices, and the object is `to provide means whereby anoutlet chamber and reservoir are so constructed that the assemblage of the parts is simple and consists of very few parts. i This application is a division of my applicationled January 23, 1907, Serial No.

353,725 on improved hygienic communion chalices. u i

The invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations i of parts which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing I have shown a portion of the invention in a ver.`

tical section. n

A represents the chalice or cup and 1 1s the leg which is hollow, upon which the chalice is mounted. A flange 2 extends ini wardly and downwardly from the drinking y edge of the cup, and received within the cup and extending above thelower depending edge of the flange is a reservoir 3. The reservoir is supported in the chalice by a tubular extension 4, which is formed on the bottom of the reservoir and received in the leg 1 of the cup. The reservoir is so supported` within the chalice that a space is formed between the chalice and the reservoir for the waste liquid, which is adapted to pass through openings 5 into the tubular extension and then down into the leg `1;

A cover 6 is mounted on the reservoir and is preferably made hollow or sunken inwardly nearly cup-shape forming an outlet chamber; the bottom of the cover, and connected to the cover is an inlet chamber 8, which is in communication with the outlet chamber through the opening 7. The inlet chamber extends upwardly between the cover and wall of the reservoir so as to receive the liquid Jfrom the reservoir when the `cup is tilted orconducting the liquid to the outlet chamber. A ball valve 9 is received in the inlet chamber for regulating the flow An opening 7 is formed in Serial No. 457.158.

or discharge of liquid from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber, the valve regu` lating the `amount `of liquid which is discharged from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber in measured quantities. An air-vent l() is formed inzthe wall of the reservoir along the upper edge.`

Whenthe chalice is tilted the liquid from the reservoir 3 will enter the inlet chamber 8I and when the chalice is moved toanup- 65 right position a certain quantity `of the liquid will pass :from the inlet chamber on to the cover or into the outlet chamber 6. The liquidis discharged from the outlet chamber on to the flange S2.` The liquid which is not consumed and which `has been discharged *from the outlet chamber on to the flange 2, will pass down between the reservoir and cup and finally pass through the openings 5 in the tubular extension 4175 down into theleg oi the chalice.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a `chalice in which the reservoir forms a receptacle for the liquid as well as an outlet chamber, by having the cover made into the proper shape to form areceptacle to receive the liquid as it is discharged Jrom the reservoir. This makes a very simple construction which can be manufactured at a small cost.

It is evident that more or ."less slight changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the scveralpartsdescribed. without departing "from the spirit and scope oit' my invention, and hence I` do 90 not wish to be limited to the exact construc` tionherein set forth, but

Having fully described my invention, what I olaimas new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 96 1. A chalice comprising a cup, a; reservoir supported within the cup, whereby space is formed between the outer walll of the reservoir and the inner wall of the cup,

a concave cover mounted upon the reservoir for forming an outlet chamber for receiving a measured quantity of liquid, and means located in the reservoir `ior discharging a measured quantity of the liquid to the outlet chamber when the cup is being move to an upright position. 1

Q.` A chalice eomprisinga cup, a reservoir mounted in the cup whereby space is Jormed between the outer wall of the reservoir and the inner wall of the cup, a concave cover l drinking edge thereof, a reservoir support-l ed in the cup, a space formed between the inner wall of ythe cup and the reservoir, said reservoir extending above the lower edge of the flange, a concave cover mounted upon the reservoir forming an outlet cham` ber, means received in the reservoir connected to the outlet chamber Jfor conducting liquid to the outlet chamber when the cup is brought from an inclined position t0 an upright position, said flange acting las a baille to prevent the liquid which has passed on over the lower edge of the ilange from returning and passing onto the flange.

4. Achalice comprising a cup, a reservoir supported within the cup, a concave cover mounted upon the reservoir for forming an outlet chamber for receiving a measured quantity of liquid, and means located in the reservoir for discharging a measured quan tity of the liquid to the outlet chamber when the cup is4 in an upright position and after the cup has been brought from a tilted position.

5. A chalice comprising a cup having a flange extending downwardly from the drinking'edge thereof, a reservoir supported in the cup, said reservoir extending above the lower edge of the flange, a concave cover mounted upon the reservoir forming an outlet chamber, means received in the reservoir connected to the outlet chamber for conducting a measured quantity of liquid to the outlet chamber when the cup is brought from an inclined position to an upright position, said cup and reservoir having a space formed there-between for receiving the drippings and waste liquid from the flange, said flange acting as a baille to prevent the liquid, which is passed over the lower edge of the flange, from returning and passing upon the flange.

6. A chalice comprising a cup, a reservoir supported within the cup, a concave cover mounted-upon the reservoir for forming an outlet chamber for receiving a measured quantity of liquid, means located in the reservoir for discharging a measured quantity Genies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing Washingtomh."

of the liquid to the outlet chamber when the cup is in an upright position and after the cup has been brought from a tilted position, and an automatic valve located in said means for regulating the flow of liquid therethrough.

7. A chalice comprising a cup, a reservoir supported in thecup and having a cover mounted upon the reservoir for forming an outlet chamber, an inlet chamber located within the reservoir and supportedv by andk in connection with the outlet chamber, said inlet chamber adapted to discharge a meas.- ured quantity of liquidfrom the reservoir tothe outlet chamber when the cup is being brought to an upright position and from a tilted position.v l y y 8. A chalice comprising a cup, a reservoir supportedin the cup and having a cover mounted uponthe reservoir for forming an outlet chamber, an inlet chamber located within the reservoir and supported by and in connection with the outlet chamber, said inlet chamberadapted to discharge ameasured quantity of liquidv from the reservoir tothe outlet 'chamberwhen the cup is being brought to anupright 'position and from a tilted position, said outlet chamber adapted to discharge the contents thereof at the drinking edge of the cup.

9, A. chalice comprising a cup, a reservoir supported within the cup, a concave kcover mounted upon the reservoir for forming an outlet chamber for receiving a measured quantity of liquid, and means located in the reservoir for automatically discharging a measured quantity of the liquid to thefoutlet chamber. t

l0. A chalice comprising a cup, a reservoir supported within the cup, whereby space is formed between the outer wall of the reservoir and the inner wall of the cup, a concave cover mounted upon the' reservoir for forming an outlet .chamber 'forA receiving aY measured quantity of liquid, and means located in the reservoir fordischarging a measured quantity of the liquid to the outlet chamber when'thecup is in an upright position, and after the., cup has been brought froma tilted position, said means being vadapted to prevent the discharge ofl liquid to the outlet chamber when the cup is brought from an upright position to a tilted position, and as long as the cup remainsA in a tilted position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
